Product reporting feature is needed, they should provide some elaborate reports with many metrics and parameters. Some functions do not have integrated scheduling.

What differentiates BambooHR from other similar products?

We required an employee data portal with robust access level management. This would enable us to provide managers with greater openness and responsibility. We also need a recruitment and onboarding solution that would enable us to simplify our recruiting process across all of our territories. BambooHR enables us to easily handle payroll, keep track of all employee information and signed papers, and provide employees with access to their data as well as vital corporate information.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

BambooHR has produced the market's best HR platform. We had to be up and running swiftly due to a well-planned implementation procedure. The work paid off since it assured that we got the most out of BambooHR as soon as possible. One of my favorite features is the ability to onboard and offboard personnel utilizing a variety of workflows and alternatives. We also like how we can maintain track of employee information, such as paperwork that require signatures. BambooHR can convert any document into a signature template, complete with custom fields, signature order, and other features.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Adapting to non-calendar year review cycles can help to enhance the performance module. They've lately posted ad hoc evaluations, however it'd be nice to be able to establish our timetable depending on the anniversary of the employment date.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you have staff in numerous places, this is a very versatile and simple to use solution that allows you to create varied demands. The implementation manager provided excellent assistance and was incredibly knowledgable. He enabled us to consolidate all of our HR information from Google Drive documents into a single, easy-to-manage solution.
